JUSTICE B M SHYAM PRASAD ORAL ORDER The petitioner, which asserts to be an Educational and Charitable Trust that has purchased 3,600 square feet of land in the years 2013 and 2016, is aggrieved by the issuance of a Registration Certificate dated 14.02.2022 to the third respondent and the approval of the Scheme for administration of the third respondent. The petitioner also seeks directions to the authorities to consider its representation dated 04.10.2025. Mr Mohammed Akram Uppinal, the learned counsel for the petitioner, is heard for disposal of the petition. Mr. Mohammed Akram Uppinal cannot dispute that both the impugned Registration and the approval order can be called in question under Section 83 of the Wakf Act, 1995. This Court, - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:51 WP No. 37738 of 2025 notwithstanding the petitioner's case that notice preceding the registration mentions one name and the registration is in the name of another [the third respondent with a change in the name] that the petitioner must avail the alternative remedy. Insofar as the representation dated 04.10.2025, this Court must observe that the consideration thereof would be subject to outcome in the appeal that the petitioner may file against the afore registration and the order granting approval for the Scheme. Therefore there is no reason for interference under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, and as such, the petition stands disposed of reserving liberty to the petitioner, subject to all just exceptions, to avail alternative remedy in accordance with law.
